The perfect quick lunch or evening snack!

This chicken egg roll is easy to whip up and very customizable. You can even make this roll with all chicken or just eggs, delicious either way.

I like using chicken breasts to make things easy but you can use dark meat also.

For the spices, you can add everything or even just some salt, pepper, and extra red chili powder to marinate your chicken.

I’m cooking it stovetop in a bit of oil, but you can also use an electric grill like the George Foreman to give it some nice char.

For toppings I like to make a simple salad with some salt and lime.

Make sure to salt your salad right before serving/making your wrap or else it will get watery as it sits. If you’re making wraps that will sit for a while you can choose to leave it unsalted if you wish.

I’m using store bought frozen parathas for this recipe,

I find it convenient to always have frozen parathas available to make quick easy meals or for guests. But you can choose to make your own. I have a square porota recipe already up if you want to try it out!

Slice/chop up all your veggies for later and set aside.

Heat your paratha pan on medium high and a smaller pan on high for the chicken.

Add in a bit of oil for the chicken, let it heat up, then add your chicken in. Fry for a few minutes on each side until nice and lightly charred. About 5-7 minutes or so. then take it off the heat.

While your chicken in cooking, fry your frozen parathas according to the instructions on the package. Set aside.

Crack an egg into a bowl, and sprinkle on a bit of salt. Whisk lightly, then pour into your paratha pan with a little bit of oil.

Place your cooked paratha on top of the egg to spread it around, and cook for half a minute till the eggs are done, then take it off the heat and repeat with your second paratha.

Then assemble your rolls. First your chicken, then the veggies, a sprinkle of salt, and a squeeze of lime on top.

Have some toothpicks ready. Pick up one edge of the roll, fold it over the toppings like a blanket,

Then wrap, squeezing the toppings to the middle of the roll. Make a tight roll and use a toothpick to hold the roll together in the middle. Serve hot and enjoy!
